CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0058314, filed on May 10, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an automatic transmission for a vehicle. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a planetary gear train of an automatic transmission for a vehicle that improves power delivery performance and fuel economy.

BACKGROUND

The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.

Generally, an automatic transmission achieving more speed stages has been developed to enhance fuel economy and improve drivability.

Such an automatic transmission achieving more speed stages allows to improve power performance and driving efficiency when downsizing an engine. Providing high efficiency multiple-speeds transmissions with smooth step ratios that can be used as an index closely related to drivability such as acceleration before and after a shift increases competitiveness of an automatic transmission in the automotive field.

However, in the automatic transmission, as the number of speed stages increase, the number of internal components increase, and as a result, mountability, cost, weight, transmission efficiency, and the like may still deteriorate.

Accordingly, development of a planetary gear train that improves efficiency with a small number of components may be provided in order to increase a fuel efficiency enhancement effect through the multiple-speeds.

An eight-speed automatic transmission has been introduced recently and a planetary gear train for an automatic transmission enabling more speed stages has been developed.

However, since a conventional eight-speed automatic transmission has gear ratio span of 6.5-7.5 (gear ratio span is an important factor for securing linearity of step ratios), improvement of power performance and fuel economy may be minimal.

In addition, if an eight-speed automatic transmission has a gear ratio span larger than 9.0, we have also found that it is difficult to secure linearity of step ratios. Therefore, driving efficiency of an engine and drivability of a vehicle may be deteriorated, and thus, development of high efficiency automatic transmissions which achieve at least nine forward speed stages is desired.

The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the present disclosure and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

At this state, the eighth shaft TM8 is operated as the fixed element by operation of the second brake B2. Therefore, the torque of the input shaft IS is shifted into the tenth forward speed stage, and the tenth forward speed stage is output through the output shaft OS connected with the second shaft TM2.

The third clutch C3 and the second and third brakes B2 and B3 are operated at a reverse speed stage REV.

In a state that the fifth shaft TM5 is connected with the seventh shaft TM7 by operation of the third clutch C3, the torque of the input shaft IS is input into the first shaft TM1.

At this state, the eighth shaft and the ninth shaft TM8 and TM9 are operated as the fixed elements by operation of the second and third brakes B2 and B3. Therefore, the torque of the input shaft IS is shifted into the reverse speed stage, and the reverse speed stage is output through the output shaft OS connected with the second shaft TM2.

According to the exemplary form of the present disclosure, ten forward speed stages and one reverse speed stage may be achieved by using five planetary gear sets PG1, PG2, PG3, PG4, and PG5 and six engaging elements including three clutches C1, C2, and C3 and three brakes B1, B2, and B3.

In addition, since gear ratio span greater than 9.9 is secured, driving efficiency of the engine may be increased. In addition, since linearity of step ratios can be secured due to multiple speed stages, drivability such as acceleration before and after shift, rhythmical engine speed, and so on may be improved.

In addition, since ten forward speed stages and one reverse speed stages are achieved by using the reduced number of engaging elements, drag loss of clutches and brakes may be reduced and power delivery efficiency and fuel economy may be improved.

In addition, since a planetary gear set of an output side in torque parallel type is used and torque is evenly shared to each planetary gear set and each engaging element, torque delivery efficiency and durability may be improved.

In addition, since five planetary gear sets are used to achieve ten forward speed stages and one reverse speed stage, flexibility of output gear ratios may be increased and linearity of step ratios may be improved.
